Saying the wrong thing at the wrong time

Being a guy at times it feels like there is a gene responsible for making you say the wrong thing at the wrong time. Everyone does it at one time or another but I have the ability to do it virtually every day somehow. I'd much prefer a mind reading ability or be able to fly (it'd be cool, admit it!) but instead I have this 'fun' ability. Maybe there's a way to overcome this condition, perhaps some ancient ritual lost forever involving sacrifices and strange dancing. Either way I wish I knew how to avoid it other than not talking all day.
